Hi Ann,
What about ultrasound for the plugs per Jack Newman
http://www.breastfeedingonline.com/22.html

"If a blocked duct has not settled within 48 hours (unusual), therapeutic
ultrasound often works. This can be arranged at a neighbourhood
physiotherapy office or sports medicine clinic. Many ultrasound therapists
are not aware of this use for ultrasound. The dose is:

2 watts/cm², continuous, for five minutes to the affected area, once daily
for up to two doses.

If two treatments on two consecutive days have not worked, there is no point
in continuing with ultrasound. Get the blocked duct re-evaluated at the
clinic or by your own physician. Usually, however, if ultrasound is going to
work, one treatment is all that is needed. Ultrasound also seems to prevent
recurrent blocked ducts that always occur in the same part of the breast.
Lecithin, one capsule (1200 mg) 3 or 4 times a day also seems to prevent
recurrent blocked ducts, at least in some mothers."
